PAC Director and Instructor Melody Best has developed a new and fresh approach to an early 19th century painting technique called theorem painting. Using Best’s templates, students are taught how to paint botanically correct flowers, plants and fruits. Because no past painting experience is necessary, her classes are open to anyone who is interested in painting.

The Wine and Paint theorem painting sessions are offered every first and third Wednesdays, April through May, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Prairie Arts Center, 24 Park Ave. East in Princeton. Wine, appetizers and all art supplies are included in the cost. To register, call 815-875-2787. Early registration is advised.
